Biomedical Sciences (Genetics)

Course Introduction

The aim of the BSc Biomedical Sciences (Genetics) course is to emphasise how the role of various genetic mutations alter cellular processes and biomechanical pathways in normal metabolism, and also how these pathways may be altered during specific human disease. You will also learn how the genome project will provide new insights and therapies for the treatment of genetic diseases. In addition you will study the main subject areas in biosciences and medically related research. These subject areas include biochemistry, genetics, cell and molecular biology, immunology, and anatomy and physiology, as related to human health, disease and treatmentStudy with us and you will be taught by enthusiastic staff who are research'active in the following areas: ' Cancer genetics, diagnosis and treatment ' Infection and immunity ' Human health and ageing ' Genomic medicine ' Stem cell biology ' Genome structure and organisation ' Genomic stability, DNA repair and human health. We're proud that we offer the highest quality tuition and supervision in newly refurbished teaching and research laboratories. As part of your final year project you'll be able to carry out hands'on research in our state'of'the'art research laboratories under the supervision of an expert academic. Our aim is to support students' development into confident individuals who can critically analyse, interpret and communicate science. The Society of Biology accreditation recognises excellence not only in giving graduates the in'depth subject knowledge, skills and experience to develop as bio'scientists, but also certifies that our graduates are prepared to address the needs of employers and contribute to the wider economy. Our Biomedical Sciences degrees also include a sandwich course option offering invaluable work experience. And as a UCAS main scheme first year undergraduate you'll be guaranteed on'site accommodation.
